From another batch of nearly new old cars — this time, a 1957 Plymouth

The recent Lambrecht auction in Nebraska showed us the story of a Chevy dealer who decided to hang on to his surplus stock and put some 500 cars in a field and leave them there for half a century or so. The result was an auction that drew 3,600 buyers and ultimate sales of $2.5 million worth of cars. Of course, the cars looked a bit bedraggled, having sat in a farm field for 50 years.

In Plainview, Texas, auto dealer Bob Hooper stashed more than a dozen primo cars from his own dealership and now one of them, a 1957 Plymouth Savoy, with only 31 miles on the odometer, will come up for sale by RKM Collector Car Auctions in Charlotte, N.C., at the end of October.

The car is pretty plain and sports (if that’s the word) a 215-horsepower V8 engine and a two-speed automatic transmission. It could bring as much as $60,000, and, yes, you can buy a lot of modern car for $60,000. But you can’t get those tailfins. More about the car at this Hemmings Daily piece.
